X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) has been used for several decades as an important analytical tool for production analysis. XRF is characterised by its speed and high precision over a wide concentration range and since the technique is used as a relative method, the limitations are often connected to the quality of the calibration samples. This guideline is primarily intended to be used for analyses of metal alloys but it is also applicable to other materials although the test preparation technique differs. The purpose of this document is to describe general concepts and procedures for calibration and analysis with XRF.
